Deborah Kerwood replied to mohammad s AbuHatab's discussion 'need help to state up my research topic/problem'

Hello Mohammad, I taught middle school science in Egypt recently, so I am thinking of my students, they preferred the webquest. A webquest is better suited for the age group. They are inquisitive and active. I think of portfolio for older students…

Free Appropriate Public Education is our hope for social justice in America. I will work for public school until my last breath, and thereafter if I find that I am able. 'Just say no' to the already failed business model in…

Hello J, I need for my administration to trust my judgment as a tech using teacher. We use Websense at our school for an Internet filter, and I understand the need for it for students, but it blocks a major portion of the sites that I want to use…

All is well here in the land of sand. Speaking of sand, it blowing all over the place today. We can taste it when this happens. It's common for this time of year. We will chime in on Sunday. Students are very excited about the communication!
